A frigid Greg Pringle and his mannequin Tillie braved cold winds this morning, greeting motorists along Sheridan Boulevard and U.S. Highway 36 with a simple message – “HOV LANE IS NOT FOR DUMMIES.”

Pringle, 54, was sentenced to holding the sign for four hours at a major intersection in Westminster by a judge earlier this month. Pringle had constructed Tillie so he could place her in his passenger seat and use the High-Occupancy Vehicle lane. The judge noted that Tillie had done nothing wrong.

The HOV lane is reserved only for automobiles with two or more people aboard, buses and motorcycles. Pringle was caught by Westminster Police on Jan. 26 and cited for driving an unauthorized vehicle in a High-Occupancy Lane on U.S. 36.

Pringle said Tillie will be auctioned off on eBay and the proceeds will go toward charity. He also said he’s learned his lesson.

As news of the deadly mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, unfolded last week, Pia Guerra, a 46-year-old Vancouver-based artist, felt helpless. She couldn’t bring herself to go to sleep, so she began to draw.

Police who find suspected drugs during a traffic stop or an arrest usually pause to perform a simple task: They place some of the material in a vial filled with liquid. If the liquid turns a certain color, it’s supposed to confirm the presence of cocaine, heroin or other narcotics.
